Physical Description: Whenever you see Jennifer Berman, she will be smiling. It’s like her major function, the thing she does best and most often. Her smile takes up almost half of her face, shows off all of her teeth, and makes her eyes almost squint, but not in a terribly hideous way. The action isn’t awe strikingly gorgeous or anything, but the frequency with which she does it makes it all that much more appealing. Jenny has one of those contagious sorts of smiles. When she does it, it’s difficult for the people around her not to, because she’ll either be laughing at something funny someone else has said, meeting a new person, or telling a joke that isn’t particularly funny, but she finds to be absolutely hilarious.
When it comes to Jenny’s outfits, she doesn’t really have any absolute preferences on things. She will wear about anything she can find and throw on, just as long as it’s clean and not too awfully boring. For the most part, Jenny leans toward wearing things that are normal, jeans and tee shirts whenever she‘s out of her uniform. Her clothes are never too tight or too loose unless she’s having a very off day and feels the need to be wrapped up in a giant sweatshirt or jacket. Her form isn’t exactly the most womanly either, her body type being more small proportioned than anything else, so there really doesn’t tend to be a point in excessively low cut shirts or tight ones, so Jennifer just doesn’t wear those sorts of things.
To be completely honest, you could compare Jenny’s form to that of a little boy, with just a little bit more cleavage. She isn’t very tall and there isn’t anywhere near an excess of meat on her bones. She’s actually a bit more skinny than anything else, her hipbones more than easy to find on her body. Jenny isn’t at all the type to starve herself to keep her weight or anything else like that, she just tends to get a little bit flighty and on certain days, will be so busy that she forgets a meal. That along with the fact that the girl is almost always moving keeps her as thin as she is, and genetics keep her as flat-chested as she is, just the same as they keep her as short as she is, so those things aren’t all that easily changed. Jenny loves the way she looks though, and wouldn’t change a thing in the world even if she had the ability.
Even by sixteen, Jenny has never had any of those strange urges to dye her hair bright blue or bubblegum pink. When she was younger, it was a light blonde in color, but slowly and surely, as she grew up, it darkened to around a dirty blonde or light brunette. At fifteen, her mother let her dye it for the first time, and she picked a reddish brunette color, how she decided to keep it, at least for awhile. Jenny’s hair is naturally straight, which is the way she usually keeps it, and falls to a bit past her shoulders on a normal basis. She gets is trimmed every few months, but never anything too major and different. From time to time, you’ll find a brightly colored hat perched upon her head to make things just a bit different, but it’s never her hair drawing in that attention.
Jennifer’s skin tone isn’t pale, but it isn’t in any way freakishly tanned either. She tans slightly every year when she is outside, but nothing more than that. To achieve the tone she has at sixteen, her summer tans every year accumulate one on top of the other after the slight winter time fading. Jenny’s face is thin, a slight bit of baby fat leftover in her cheeks, always smiling, her nose a teensy bit too big for her face. Her eyes are always bright with some sort of excitement, even when they’re crinkled and almost squinting from her smiling. The only thing too different about the girl’s face is the piercing through her septum, which she got before her sixth year started and her parents still aren’t too fond of. The thing you can really say about Jenny, if your tastes tend in that direction, is that she is cute. She isn’t some definition of beauty and she lacks most common definitions of sexy, but she does have that innocent quality to her than can easily qualify her as cute.
Personality Description: Jennifer Berman is basically everyone’s best friend, she‘s just that sort of girl. She‘ll go out and have fun with you, she‘ll talk to you about the cuties in class, she‘ll gossip over potential or suspected relationships, and she‘ll go home to have a sleepover and makeover party with you if you ever ask her to. She‘s always there for you if you need her and you‘d better bet that there are times when she‘ll need you. She‘s almost the peppy, popular type, but not as bitchy underneath it all. She‘s sincere and a complete goofball, always looking out for the best in people and then pulling it out in them when she‘s around them. She adores people, whether it‘s just watching them or getting up and talking to them, which happens more often than not. She‘s just a normal girl, like any other person on the planet, and hell, it tends to surprise her just as much as anyone else when she gets an awful lot of attention over anything.
Jenny‘s not too intelligent, that one‘s not horribly difficult to figure out. She gets through school with very average grades, because she does try, she‘s just never really been the best with academics. Jenny‘s problem is, she doesn‘t exactly have the most common sense in all the world, and she‘s a bit too trusting of the people around her. She opens up to anyone who asks her about herself and seems like they‘ll listen. As for common sense, Jenny tends to take everything she hears literally, and hardly ever recognizes sarcasm when she hears it, though sometimes she will try and fail miserably to use it. She‘s a tiny bit of a ditz in that manner, living up to her sometimes hair color and the jokes people make about it just grandly. It isn‘t some idiot on purpose thing, but Jenny has had more than her share of dumb blonde moments throughout the course of her lifetime. They kind of mesh in with her clumsy moments though, and her goofball ones, so it‘s a bit hard to tell whether or not she‘s being serious from time to time.
Clumsiness is a major component to Jenny‘s personality, or really, to her life. She is probably one of the clumsiest people you will ever meet throughout your life, and she actually doesn‘t even mind it. The girl will seriously trip over anything, anywhere, which makes it a bit difficult to do anything usefully sneaky for any sort of prank or a thing like that. It usually doesn‘t phase her though. Even with her sometimes perfectionist attitude, Jenny isn‘t so horribly into it that she‘ll freak out if she falls down. She‘s been clumsy all through her life, so it‘s something she‘s more than used to by sixteen. When she falls, she laughs at herself and either stays down and keeps doing what she‘s doing, or grins and shakes her head, standing back up and getting back on her way with a “whoopsie“ kind of explanation and shrug. Sometimes she‘ll even trip herself or dive to the ground on purpose, just for a good laugh.
Jennifer Berman is the quintessential goofball. It‘s a part of her slightly ditzy and full-on clumsy self. She sets off all of her blonde moments with it, and she wears hideous clothing and makes weird noises and faces all the time. She loves laughing and laughter, and she‘ll be the first person in the room to relieve an awkward silence, usually by doing something silly like shouting a random word or statement that doesn‘t pertain to a single thing that‘s going on. She doesn‘t curse, so she makes up other words that begin with the same letter as the ones she means, or just makes up new ones entirely with whatever comes to mind when she almost says one. Most people would have to be drunk to be like Jenny, but she‘s just naturally goofy. It could have stemmed from all the cartoons she grew up watching on television, or maybe it‘s where her choices in life led her, who the hell knows? All anyone can possibly know is that Jenny Berman is one of the goofiest, clumsiest people in the universe, but at least she‘s fun.
Contrary to her fun and goofy nature, when it comes to certain things, Jenny‘s completely serious. Drinking, for one, is something she won‘t do. The people who know her best know why, but those who don‘t assume it‘s some kind of prudish, anti-drugs sort of thing. In a way, it‘s a little of both. Jenny got drunk one time in her entire life and wasn‘t particularly fond of the feeling she had when she woke up. Since then, she doesn‘t touch the stuff, she tends to steer away from places that it‘s present at, though, being quite fond of parties, that‘s a difficult thing to do, but Jennifer‘s got a strong enough will that it usually doesn‘t phase her. Of course, she‘s always afraid she‘ll end up convinced into drinking or something like that, but she‘s doing well so far, and her friends are very supportive of it all. She hates the feeling of having something else in control of her life and losing that control for herself, not to mention the terrible ache in her head the morning after. She doesn‘t do or get into drugs or anything like that either, knowing very well that she could easily get into a terrible situation with it. She smokes though, even through trying to quit. Sometimes she‘s very open about it, sometimes she‘s quitting, and sometimes she‘s smoking when she says she‘s quit and hides to do it. Mostly though, it‘s just under stress when she breaks down from trying to quit and does it to hide, and there‘s a hell of a lot of stress in the world for her at the current time.
Jennifer is very trusting by nature. As soon as she meets someone, she‘ll openly tell them her entire life story. She‘ll cry in front of anyone, laugh with anyone, and talk to anyone. She‘s outgoing to go along with that, so if she‘s in the room, it‘s almost certain that everyone else in the room will have talked to her, no matter who they are. She‘s open and happy to talk to or hang out with anyone she meets and she‘ll hug them and start up any sort of conversation. Open, loving, trusting, and she doesn‘t even have the slightest concept of personal space. She greets with hugs and kisses on the cheek and she‘ll constantly invade your personal bubble if you‘re sitting near her. She‘s a huge fan of hugging. Being trusting does, however, have it‘s downsides. It‘s not at all difficult to hurt the girl, and it‘s not at all difficult to get her to trust you again even after you‘ve hurt her. She isn‘t the type to say yes to everything anyone asks her or even be naïve enough to think that everyone is amazing, but she does look for the best in people, and she likes making people happy.
Board games, move nights, sleep overs, karaoke, Jenny enjoys the simple things in life. She‘s a down to earth sort of girl, just sees herself as being normal, and doesn’t quite know what she wants to do with her life. She likes all the drawing and reading and helping people, but she‘s never been exactly sure how to throw all that into one career choice. She thinks she‘s pretty good at what she does and in no way does she lack confidence, but Jenny isn‘t overly confident by any means. In actuality of it all, she dislikes egos more than nearly anything else in the world. She rolls her eyes at people when they get to going on rants about how very awesome they are. She really just can‘t stand it when people think they‘re better than her or anyone else, even if they are awesome at what they do.
Jenny‘s almost a ‘mom‘ figure of her friends and all of the people she cares about, though she tends to be the one who needs protecting more so than most. In a cleanly way though, she‘s a bit of a ‘mum‘. Her room is always neat and orderly, and when she goes to other people‘s houses and sees things disorganized and out of place, she‘ll fix and reorganize them without asking or even being asked. She doesn‘t exactly act the motherly part, but she‘s a bit of a clean freak, and things stay clean because of that. She carries hand sanitizer around with her constantly, she makes sure to wash off her cellphone and guitar every day before she uses it, she picks up all of the dirty clothes and food wrappers in her room and in cabs whenever she takes them, and she makes all of the beds in her apartment, at her parents’ house, and anywhere else when they need making. She doesn‘t mind doing it and she doesn‘t exactly lecture her friends and family to do it themselves, it‘s just a habit. She can‘t sleep or anything when things look messy and disorganized around her. When she gets bored or nervous enough, she‘ll even break out the window and floor cleaner and the vacuum and mop or sweep or clean the windows wherever she is. It‘s just another part of that strange, strange person that is Jennifer Berman.
Greatest Character Strength: Outgoing
Worst Character Flaw: Ditzy
Family Background and Childhood
Location of Home Residence: Mobile, Alabama
Academy Funding: Scholarship
Family Background: Jenny’s family life, though it wasn’t exactly the most pleasant of things all the time, was actually a very nice life. Her parents may have argued, she may have gotten the occasional boo-boo every here and there, but everyone in her family loved one another dearly and wouldn’t have thought for even a millisecond about abusing another. Jenny, though she never understood why her parents sometimes said mean things to each other, still loved and hugged them both, along with her older sister, every single time she had the chance. She was a bit of a hassle from time to time, but honestly, what child wasn’t at least for a bit of their life? To understand the whole of it though, ever little thing in Jennifer’s life, you’d have to go all the way back to where her parents met, in a bar, strange, seeing as Jenny’s the type of girl who wouldn’t really be caught in a bar unless she absolutely had to be…
Jonathon and Gweneth were not the typical couple. Their eyes didn’t lock from across the room, they didn’t tune out every other sound and walk directly to one another, never breaking eye contact the entire time. They were never the romantic novel type of couple that Jenny envisions her true love as being, but somehow they still were in love, they still eventually fell in love, and despite all of their differences, they had two children together and continued to keep their relationship going and going. When they met, it didn’t snap and hit them, in that bar. In all honesty, Jonathon was a lot more interested in Gweneth’s best friend, whom he started dating shortly after the meeting. He and Gweneth detested one another completely, always bickering and just picking at one another, not a single thing in common, and somehow, through all of that, they fell head over heels for one another proving that in some cases, it’s better to have no similarities at all, it certainly kept their marriage exciting.
And about six months after their first date, Jonathon and Gweneth’s marriage came to be, with a honeymoon to the Caribbean tacked onto the end, playing out like any normal honeymoon, plus a bit of arguing every here and there, but that was how the two had always functioned together, why they’d fallen in love, taking it out of the relationship just because they got married would have just been silly. As proof that they hadn’t just argued on their honeymoon, about nine and a half months later, Jenny’s brother, Jeremiah was born. Their arguing, though still very present, did take on a quieter volume, and some of it even stopped to make sure the baby wouldn’t wake up and cry any more than she had to.
Two years after that, Jennifer Rebecca Berman entered the world and exited her mother’s womb. Jenny, though a typical baby, wasn’t always as loud as most. She couldn’t have been called quiet, but it wasn’t very difficult at all to get her to stop. All you really had to do was turn on a ceiling fan or make faces at her and Jenny would become more than occupied. It helped that Jeremiah was leaning over her crib and making little noises a lot. Easily distracted as a baby, that kept her quiet and happy and let her parents sleep whenever they needed a quick nap throughout the day. As she grew older and older, Jenny became almost permanently attached to her brother’s side, hugging on her older brother’s legs when they were standing still and near one another when she first learned to walk, and following as close behind as she could when her brother was moving. He was her older brother, of course she had always looked up to him and wanted to be like him. Little Jenny would cry if her brother ever left the house without her or ever went anywhere with her mother or father while Jenny had to stay at home with the other parent, that was how attached she was. As she grew even more, she became a bit less dependant on her elder sibling, but still liked being around him, they even shared their room for awhile in their lives. Her brother seemed so much more at peace with their parents arguing than Jenny ever was. Sometimes it would make Jenny cry, and sometimes she would just ask their mum at night, and the one time she did, her mum assured her that they still loved one another, brushing her hair behind her ear and kissing her forehead before wishing her goodnight. Jenny never bothered to question it again, trusting fully in her mother‘s response.
It wasn’t at all easy for Jenny when her brother went off to school for the first time. She wanted Jerry to go, yes, it was such an exciting thing, but Jenny still didn’t want to be without him for so long. She didn’t really break down and cry to him before he left, she didn’t want him to feel bad, but she did pout a bit and make him promise to spend extra time with her when he got home and write her at least once a week. Jenny more than gladly accompanied them to drop him at school and to see him off and hugged him as tightly as she possibly could, begging and making sure, again, that he wouldn’t make all kinds of new friends and hate her, that he‘d write her. When they got back in the car to go home and Jenny didn’t have to smile and wave anymore though, she did cry, hugging her parents as they left until her father finally carried her on his back to cheer her up a little bit. Jenny did cheer up a bit, when he came home and hugged her and all that. She was in school too, yes, but she was so used to going to the same school as him and waking up at the same time every morning. She started waking up early every morning, just so she could make sure she didn‘t get a letter from Jerry early. The girl did the same thing every single week until they got their holiday breaks and whatnot, and then Jenny wouldn’t leave his side even a moment. Jenny didn’t cry when he had to go back those times, just used to it, and gladly woke up early again, waiting for those letters.
When Jenny reached that age to start attending Kameons, it was amazing. She knew it was coming, of course, or rather, she really, really hoped, but as the summer pressed on, there was always that little doubt in her mind, that maybe she wouldn‘t get to, or something would turn her down or any of that, but every little worry was dissolved once they got a letter in the mail approving her scholarship. She showed her parents and her brother, she read it out loud at least three times, and she was all ready to go at least two weeks before it was even time for school to start. Almost every night, she stayed up late, keeping her brother up with her, and asked what it was like, what house she‘d end up in, how she‘d do, and her brother always assured her of the best. The possibilities, however, were endless.
When Jennifer did get to her first day of school, she was overwhelmed, to say the very least. She had gone to school before, yes, but muggle elementary school was different, she was just used to the whole carefree factor from other little kids and all that. She got used to it though, it wasn’t too difficult to get into things after about the first few weeks. Throughout her schooling thus far, Jenny has easily kept average grades and good friends, even had her first few boyfriends, though nothing too major ever happened. She fell down the stairs a few times, decided on her views on dating and such, all those sorts of things. A lot of teenagers tend to sleep around, but Jenny always wanted her first time to be something special, not to give it all away to just anyone, and in the very beginning of fifth year, she decided that she was saving herself for love. Fifteen year old shouldn‘t have been having sex anyways, not in her mind at least. Jenny was always that girl who took breakups hard, crying in her room or on a random person she found in the hallway’s shoulder, and she always wanted to stay friends with her exes. Through everything, Jenny continues to love life and live it to it’s fullest in just the way she wants.
Pet Registration
Pet Species: Frog
Pet’s Name: Skids
Pet’s Gender: Jenny honestly hasn’t the slightest idea how to tell on a frog.
Pet’s Physical Description: Skids is just a normal frog that Jenny found at a pond outside of her house a few years previous. Green and brown-ish in color, kind of bumpy and slimy, the whole shebang. He isn’t abnormally large for a frog, and he isn’t strangely small either, just a healthy, normal, web-footed, fly-eating frog.
Pet’s Personality Description: Even though Jenny likes to think otherwise, Skids is actually pretty bland in the personality department. He sits around in his little tank and makes noises all day until she feeds him or lets him loose somewhere. He’s a lazy little thing too, just sits there all day long, spoiled rotten ever since she found and kept him. The one good thing about Skids though, is that he is a very loyal animal, at least in Jenny’s mind. She can take him outside and let him hop around and catch his own flies, but he always comes back, probably just because he’s too lazy to get too far away, or maybe even because she has him spoiled absolutely rotten.

She thinks she‘s pretty good at what she does and in no way does she lack confidence, but Jenny isn‘t overly confident by any means. In actuality of it all, she dislikes egos more than nearly anything else in the world. She rolls her eyes at people when they get to going on rants about how very awesome they are. She really just can‘t stand it when people think they‘re better than her or anyone else, even if they are awesome at what they do.
Jenny‘s almost a ‘mom‘ figure of her friends and all of the people she cares about, though she tends to be the one who needs protecting more so than most. In a cleanly way though, she‘s a bit of a ‘mum‘. Her room is always neat and orderly, and when she goes to other people‘s houses and sees things disorganized and out of place, she‘ll fix and reorganize them without asking or even being asked. She doesn‘t exactly act the motherly part, but she‘s a bit of a clean freak, and things stay clean because of that. She carries hand sanitizer around with her constantly, she makes sure to wash off her cellphone and guitar every day before she uses it, she picks up all of the dirty clothes and food wrappers in her room and in cabs whenever she takes them, and she makes all of the beds in her apartment, at her parents’ house, and anywhere else when they need making. She doesn‘t mind doing it and she doesn‘t exactly lecture her friends and family to do it themselves, it‘s just a habit. She can‘t sleep or anything when things look messy and disorganized around her. When she gets bored or nervous enough, she‘ll even break out the window and floor cleaner and the vacuum and mop or sweep or clean the windows wherever she is. It‘s just another part of that strange, strange person that is Jennifer Berman.

Family Background and Childhood
Location of Home Residence: Mobile, Alabama

Family Background: Jenny’s family life, though it wasn’t exactly the most pleasant of things all the time, was actually a very nice life. Her parents may have argued, she may have gotten the occasional boo-boo every here and there, but everyone in her family loved one another dearly and wouldn’t have thought for even a millisecond about abusing another. Jenny, though she never understood why her parents sometimes said mean things to each other, still loved and hugged them both, along with her older sister, every single time she had the chance. She was a bit of a hassle from time to time, but honestly, what child wasn’t at least for a bit of their life? To understand the whole of it though, ever little thing in Jennifer’s life, you’d have to go all the way back to where her parents met, in a bar, strange, seeing as Jenny’s the type of girl who wouldn’t really be caught in a bar unless she absolutely had to be…
Jonathon and Gweneth were not the typical couple. Their eyes didn’t lock from across the room, they didn’t tune out every other sound and walk directly to one another, never breaking eye contact the entire time. They were never the romantic novel type of couple that Jenny envisions her true love as being, but somehow they still were in love, they still eventually fell in love, and despite all of their differences, they had two children together and continued to keep their relationship going and going. When they met, it didn’t snap and hit them, in that bar. In all honesty, Jonathon was a lot more interested in Gweneth’s best friend, whom he started dating shortly after the meeting. He and Gweneth detested one another completely, always bickering and just picking at one another, not a single thing in common, and somehow, through all of that, they fell head over heels for one another proving that in some cases, it’s better to have no similarities at all, it certainly kept their marriage exciting.
And about six months after their first date, Jonathon and Gweneth’s marriage came to be, with a honeymoon to the Caribbean tacked onto the end, playing out like any normal honeymoon, plus a bit of arguing every here and there, but that was how the two had always functioned together, why they’d fallen in love, taking it out of the relationship just because they got married would have just been silly. As proof that they hadn’t just argued on their honeymoon, about nine and a half months later, Jenny’s brother, Jeremiah was born. Their arguing, though still very present, did take on a quieter volume, and some of it even stopped to make sure the baby wouldn’t wake up and cry any more than she had to.
Two years after that, Jennifer Rebecca Berman entered the world and exited her mother’s womb. Jenny, though a typical baby, wasn’t always as loud as most. She couldn’t have been called quiet, but it wasn’t very difficult at all to get her to stop. All you really had to do was turn on a ceiling fan or make faces at her and Jenny would become more than occupied. It helped that Jeremiah was leaning over her crib and making little noises a lot. Easily distracted as a baby, that kept her quiet and happy and let her parents sleep whenever they needed a quick nap throughout the day. As she grew older and older, Jenny became almost permanently attached to her brother’s side, hugging on her older brother’s legs when they were standing still and near one another when she first learned to walk, and following as close behind as she could when her brother was moving. He was her older brother, of course she had always looked up to him and wanted to be like him. Little Jenny would cry if her brother ever left the house without her or ever went anywhere with her mother or father while Jenny had to stay at home with the other parent, that was how attached she was. As she grew even more, she became a bit less dependant on her elder sibling, but still liked being around him, they even shared their room for awhile in their lives. Her brother seemed so much more at peace with their parents arguing than Jenny ever was. Sometimes it would make Jenny cry, and sometimes she would just ask their mum at night, and the one time she did, her mum assured her that they still loved one another, brushing her hair behind her ear and kissing her forehead before wishing her goodnight. Jenny never bothered to question it again, trusting fully in her mother‘s response.
It wasn’t at all easy for Jenny when her brother went off to school for the first time. She wanted Jerry to go, yes, it was such an exciting thing, but Jenny still didn’t want to be without him for so long. She didn’t really break down and cry to him before he left, she didn’t want him to feel bad, but she did pout a bit and make him promise to spend extra time with her when he got home and write her at least once a week. Jenny more than gladly accompanied them to drop him at school and to see him off and hugged him as tightly as she possibly could, begging and making sure, again, that he wouldn’t make all kinds of new friends and hate her, that he‘d write her. When they got back in the car to go home and Jenny didn’t have to smile and wave anymore though, she did cry, hugging her parents as they left until her father finally carried her on his back to cheer her up a little bit. Jenny did cheer up a bit, when he came home and hugged her and all that. She was in school too, yes, but she was so used to going to the same school as him and waking up at the same time every morning. She started waking up early every morning, just so she could make sure she didn‘t get a letter from Jerry early. The girl did the same thing every single week until they got their holiday breaks and whatnot, and then Jenny wouldn’t leave his side even a moment. Jenny didn’t cry when he had to go back those times, just used to it, and gladly woke up early again, waiting for those letters.
When Jenny reached that age to start attending Kameons, it was amazing. She knew it was coming, of course, or rather, she really, really hoped, but as the summer pressed on, there was always that little doubt in her mind, that maybe she wouldn‘t get to, or something would turn her down or any of that, but every little worry was dissolved once they got a letter in the mail approving her scholarship. She showed her parents and her brother, she read it out loud at least three times, and she was all ready to go at least two weeks before it was even time for school to start. Almost every night, she stayed up late, keeping her brother up with her, and asked what it was like, what house she‘d end up in, how she‘d do, and her brother always assured her of the best. The possibilities, however, were endless.
When Jennifer did get to her first day of school, she was overwhelmed, to say the very least. She had gone to school before, yes, but muggle elementary school was different, she was just used to the whole carefree factor from other little kids and all that. She got used to it though, it wasn’t too difficult to get into things after about the first few weeks. Throughout her schooling thus far, Jenny has easily kept average grades and good friends, even had her first few boyfriends, though nothing too major ever happened. She fell down the stairs a few times, decided on her views on dating and such, all those sorts of things. A lot of teenagers tend to sleep around, but Jenny always wanted her first time to be something special, not to give it all away to just anyone, and in the very beginning of fifth year, she decided that she was saving herself for love. Fifteen year old shouldn‘t have been having sex anyways, not in her mind at least. Jenny was always that girl who took breakups hard, crying in her room or on a random person she found in the hallway’s shoulder, and she always wanted to stay friends with her exes. Through everything, Jenny continues to love life and live it to it’s fullest in just the way she wants.
Pet Registration
Pet Species: Frog
Pet’s Name: Skids
Pet’s Gender: Jenny honestly hasn’t the slightest idea how to tell on a frog.
Pet’s Physical Description: Skids is just a normal frog that Jenny found at a pond outside of her house a few years previous. Green and brown-ish in color, kind of bumpy and slimy, the whole shebang. He isn’t abnormally large for a frog, and he isn’t strangely small either, just a healthy, normal, web-footed, fly-eating frog.
Pet’s Personality Description: Even though Jenny likes to think otherwise, Skids is actually pretty bland in the personality department. He sits around in his little tank and makes noises all day until she feeds him or lets him loose somewhere. He’s a lazy little thing too, just sits there all day long, spoiled rotten ever since she found and kept him. The one good thing about Skids though, is that he is a very loyal animal, at least in Jenny’s mind. She can take him outside and let him hop around and catch his own flies, but he always comes back, probably just because he’s too lazy to get too far away, or maybe even because she has him spoiled absolutely rotten.
